For those, who read yesterdays report written by Mr. Spock filed with the Federation of Nations, before returning to his home planet of Vulcan. Here is a tale from beyond the Federation of Nations. Which somehow made its way to planet earth but maybe not. Maybe because the church found Mr. Spock’s appendix that he hid in the Library of Congress. Stranger things than that have happened.

So here we go on another journey.”For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together, until now.” That particular writer suggests that life is tough, complex and very painful. With any birthing not always having desired conclusions. Could be any one of many personal life encounters. And that is, why the whole of creation groans. But the author suddenly adds, ‘until now.’

Taking a sudden sweep into the unknown by suggesting that there can be a duality contained within humanity. For the author boldly proclaims, “Not only that, (hitch hiking on the phrase, until now) but we have also have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption of redemption of our body.” Suggesting that there is no difference among us, for we all travails in pain one way or another. Something we can all identify with, especially in today’s troubled fractured economy. Even though its been spared, up until now any colossal nuclear bombardments. Because war among global politicians, is seen as a way to stimulate world economies for the victors. Americas war in Afghanistan has hit the $300 billion price tag and still climbing. Guaranteeing more Americans will die for a useless cause. Unless one considers that all those lost lives is worth $300 billion, as a launching pad to attack Iran. Then Spock’s logic will really play out. Humans are the most illogical species in the universe.

But there is a life transforming experience available, called the ‘firstfruits of the Spirit.’ Though the owners of the ‘firstfruits of the Spirit,’ also groan with pain because of daily burdens. There is something that vastly separates them from the rest of humanity. It’s the super natural reality that the possessors of the ‘firstfruits of the Spirit.’ Which the author tags, as people ‘eagerly waiting for the adoption of redemption of our body.’ Something that separates humanity into two separate groups. One who have the ‘firstfruits of the Spirit’ and those who don’t.

Mysteriously our author, goes on to describe something he refers to as ‘hope.’ Stating. “For we were saved in this hope. but hope that is seen is not hope; for why would one still hope for what one sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. I with many others are possessors of the ‘firstfriuits of the spirit.’ It’s a gift from God through the personage of Jesus Christ. Despite hard times, we wait for God to adopt our bodies in his redemption. When he returns to this planet a second time, a hope worth hoping for in constant perseverance.

Here is yet another definition for ‘hope.’ “Meantime have a drink on me-and think it over. I will be keeping an eye out for you. Remember that hope is a good thing, Red, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies, I will be hoping that this letter finds finds you, and finds you well.” Your friend, Peter Stevens (source:The Shawshank Redemption-Stephen King) A fictional novel turned into a  major motion picture starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins more than two decades ago. With that defined phrase of ‘hope’ well etched into my mind.

Hope than is the substance of something not seen. For why hope for it, if we can see it? Maybe then its what Mr. Spock left behind. When he concluded, “And maybe this time, they’ll emerge to fulfill their destiny. Because there was something intriguing about this seemingly heartless Christ. Who repeatedly said, ‘As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; be zealous, therefore and repent.’ And there rests the HOPE for America and the community of nations, thought, Mr. Spock. A repented and revitalized church.”‘

But remember it was about hearing what the Spirit was saying to the Churches. But hearing can’t be heard, unless one has absorbed the ‘firstfruits of the Spirit within ones being. It creates the surreal art of perseverance, as we wait the adoption of our bodily redemption. A

And now you know, what is this, a world sickened in madness.  Different worlds of hope which one is yours?
